Chapter 615: Familiar Xianyang!
This day.
Lu Su was organizing herbs when Su Xuan suddenly found her.
"Miss Lu, I am preparing to leave this place. What are your plans for the future?"
As soon as Su Xuan spoke, Lu Su froze.
Looking at the stunned Lu Su, Su Xuan continued, "Are you planning to go home, or somewhere else?"
Lu Su's expression immediately became complex.
For these past few months, she had been following Su Xuan to learn medicine. The way of medicine is vast and profound, and in the process of learning it, she had even forgotten about Yi Yi Xiaochuan.
Now, hearing Su Xuan's words, she finally remembered that she still had family!
Mr. Su was preparing to leave.
Should she go home? Or continue searching for Yi Xiaochuan?
Lu Su was very lost.
If she went home, she did not know how to face her father and sister.
That day, she had not even said goodbye to them before chasing after Yi Xiaochuan. Now, thinking about returning in such a disheveled state and facing what might happen with her father and sister...
Lu Su hesitated.
After pondering for a long time, she looked at Su Xuan before her and asked, "Where does Sir intend to go?"
"A great man born between heaven and earth should not remain in a lowly position for long! I intend to go to Xianyang to seek a fortune!"
"Xianyang?"
Lu Su naturally knew what Xianyang was; it was the capital of the Qin State and the center of the world.
Lu Su had not expected Mr. Su to have such ambitions, preparing to go to Xianyang to seek wealth.
She hesitated about whether she should follow Su Xuan to Xianyang, when she heard Su Xuan say, "If you are not planning to go home, you can come with me to Xianyang. Perhaps one day, you might even see your sweetheart again."
Hearing the words "sweetheart," Lu Su's cheeks flushed red; she thought of Yi Xiaochuan.
She wondered where Yi Xiaochuan had gone.
However, she took Su Xuan's words to heart. Although she had only spent a little over a month with him, the impression Su Xuan had given her during this time was that of an undisputed man of wonders.
Since Mr. Su said it was possible to meet Yi Xiaochuan in Xianyang, then it must be possible.
Lu Su immediately made her decision. "Mr. Su, I will go to Xianyang with you!"
Su Xuan nodded gently without saying much more.
In the following period, the two organized the herbs in the valley. Most of the herbs were refined into elixirs by Su Xuan, and those that were not were packed into a carrying box he made, which he carried on his back.
There was no help for it; although Su Xuan could use the power of his Primordial Spirit to perform many mysterious techniques, this body was not his original one. Performing the "Pot Heaven" technique consumed a great deal of magic power, and even Su Xuan did not want to waste his power on it.
So, it was better to honestly pack the herbs in a box.
Although they were two different worlds, they were both the Great Qin world. Except for the fact that the development of certain events was completely different, the geographical environment and terrain of the two worlds were extremely similar.
Su Xuan appeared very familiar with how to get to Xianyang.
During the journey to Xianyang, he used some minor means to acquire some money, thus solving the problem of travel expenses.
After some twists and turns, he soon brought Lu Su to Xianyang.
While traveling to Xianyang by carriage, he continued to teach Lu Su medicine.
Lu Su's talent was truly average; she could not be compared to Duanmu Rong, the Medical Immortal of Jinghu from the previous world, and even Princess Honglian had better talent in medicine than Lu Su. But Lu Su had her own strengths: diligence and the ability to endure hardship.
Even though she was a young lady from a wealthy family who had grown up in a greenhouse, she possessed a stubborn nature. It was this nature that led her to leave her father and sister behind, choose to run away from home, and endure all kinds of suffering to save Yi Yi Xiaochuan.
Now, as Su Xuan taught her medicine, she was the same; even if her talent was insufficient, she was unwilling to let down Mr. Su's painstaking efforts and studied earnestly.
Just as Lu Su was studying hard, Su Xuan brought her to Xianyang.
The Xianyang of this world looked similar to the one in the previous world, well, there were some differences; compared to the Xianyang city of the previous world, this one was much simpler.
There was no help for it; productivity determines the economic base.
The Qin State of the previous world possessed the Mohist School and the Gongshu School. Under the promotion of various black technologies, productivity was highly developed. Also, because of the different policies implemented, the people were much wealthier. With the people being wealthy, Xianyang was also much more prosperous than the Xianyang of this world.
Using the money he had acquired through certain means along the way, Su Xuan soon rented a courtyard in Xianyang.
As for whether the courtyard would be used for living or opening a medical clinic, that would be decided later. ===== CHAPTER 997 =====
After leading Lu Su to settle into their new residence, he went to the market to purchase some daily necessities.
Su Xuan then said to Lu Su, "I have something to attend to, so I need to go out. You just stay here!"
"Okay!"
Lu Su nodded, indicating she would not run around.
After giving instructions to Lu Su, Su Xuan left Xianyang City and headed to a certain place outside the city.
Mount Li.
This was the location Ying Zheng had chosen for his imperial mausoleum.
It was unknown exactly when the construction of the imperial mausoleum had begun.
What was known was that building the imperial mausoleum required the conscription of many laborers; it was a project that took a very long time.
Basically every day, laborers performing corvée labor from various places arrived here under the leadership of local officials. In addition to laborers conscripted from all over the country, there were also the families of disgraced officials and criminals from the six states, all of whom were sent here to perform corvée labor.
The Official Slave Camp was such a place.
Because the people in the Official Slave Camp were all families of disgraced officials and criminals from various places, the people here were treated even more harshly than ordinary laborers. They moved heavy objects like stones and wood day and night, with very little food. If they did not work hard, they would be whipped by the Qin soldiers guarding them.
Also due to this harsh environment, the interior of the Official Slave Camp was full of intrigue, presenting a scene of the law of the jungle.
The strong bullied the weak and snatched their food; such things were common.
Gao Yao had never been a strong person.
He was an out-and-out weakling, and now, he had been in the Official Slave Camp for a long time. During this time, he had suffered all kinds of torture, and anyone could bully him.
If it weren't for the obsession with returning home hanging in his heart, he would not have been able to hold on. ===== CHAPTER 998 =====
